TACA :: Talk About Curing Autism

Goals of the Seminar
After receiving the diagnosis of autism for a beloved child (or children), parents typically struggle as they search through various resources to locate information needed to help their child the fastest.  The goal of the one-day Autism Journey Orientation is to provide parents and caretakers the "jumpstart" they need at the beginning of their journey from parents who have "been there, done that."  In addition to sage advice, parents who attend will receive:  an overview of beginning therapies and biomedical intervention, where to go for what information, and recommended first steps.  The seminar will be given by experienced parents who volunteer their time in providing the education new parents need.

Who Should Attend?
This one-day seminar is geared for parents and caretakers of children affected by autism.  Content will be provided in an "overview" presentation with web and book resource information for additional details.  This seminar is geared to parents and caretakers new to the autism journey (less than 18 months) who have not started a behavioral/educational program or biomedical testing and interventions.
